Implement an 'argument checker' function?

[Former user]

currently:

foo: function (bar) {
    bar = bar || {}
}

proposal:

// in a util.js or wherever
isDefined: function (val) {
    return typeof val !== "undefined";
}

checkArg: function (val, defaultVal) {
    return aeq.isDefined(val) ? val : defaultVal;
}

// then when in use:
foo: function (bar) {
    foo = checkArg(bar, {});
}

main.js: Adds setDefault for undefined/null explicit checking; implements instead of 'or' var assignments (resolve #19)

I'm wondering if this function should be a "global" variable inside aequery. If it is going to be used often, it would make for cleaner code to just use that, instead of aeq.setDefault every time.

What do you think?

[Former user]

I don't get how this would be implemented; can you give an example?

[Rune Gangsø]

In main.js:

aeq.setDefault = function() {}
var setDefault = aeq.setDefault

In any other file inside aequery:

function foo( value ) {
    value = setDefault( value, 'bar' )
    // Do something
}

Instead of:

function foo( value ) {
    value = aeq.setDefault( value, 'bar' )
    // Do something
}

Ah! Yeah that's much better. Didn't understand that it was a discussion on namespace. Want me to take care of this / give it a shot?

[Rune Gangsø]

That would be great, thanks!

Makes setDefault global variable, updates calls (re: #19)
